The start of what appeared to be an attempted predation event. The boxelder bug that the zebra jumper investigated kicked the spider away, as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lQAB9sqaoY

White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)Observer
greglasleyDescription
I have a 100 gallon tub of water near my house so wildlife can drink. Just as it was getting dark a short while ago something caught my eye and this small White-tailed buck came to drink. Somehow this fella got a plastic jug caught up in his velvet antlers...I hope he can get it off. I had to chuckle at this sight, however, something I had certainly never seen before. Anyway, he drank some water then trotted away. Hope he will be OK!

Gray Wolf (Canis lupus)Observer
joshrasmussenDescription
There are three sets of tracks in the picture. A lone gray wolf, and two other smaller canids. The tracks left the road together but the smaller tracks do not appear to be big enough even for a pup wolf. It's possible that coyotes were trailing the wolf. So, though the tracks are close they probably weren't walking together.
